Recently I did an interview with Ethan St. Pierre of Transfm.org.
You can listen to here:

That’s my opinion on where the good doctor is headed. In a recent post at Bilerico.com she said:
“The incredibly unflappable Signorile asked about the failure of Congress to move on ENDA and DADT, and the President’s failure to lead. Frank’s angry response was that the LGBT community has failed to lobby Congress. He characterized our [...]

Every time I see a story about “USA: 8-year-old child sex change“, “8-year-old boy has ’sex change’, or Boy, 8, has ’sex change’, that is Unbelievable!, it sickens me. Not because of the children, but because of the media. These children are transgender, not transsexual. They are simply being allowed to self identify, without any [...]
